lol didn't expect any real response, but anyways ya I was freaking out last night, just so damn frustrating, but I test fitted using one of the 45* couplers I had around and it works perfectly for the cold and hot side, so I just ordered them, (another $15 shipping, $50 overall, after ordering 2 90* and a 45* coupler 3 days ago lol) but they should work, then the problem was the FMIC core being to farward and hitting the front grill and stuff, so now I removed everything, and am going to flip the core around, and use the brackets I had welded onto the core on the back side of the crash bar with 2 washers in between and then just have to expand the drilled holes from the top of the bar a little to get bolts to line up correctly and then recut the back of the crash bar part a tiny bit more, and level it out so it sits evenly.. then it will look sweet and all fit perfectly with no pipes sticking out anywhere, a HUGE PITA, but will be worth it, just wish I didn't have to keep ordering couplers, no where around here has them in store, and there more expensive to get it from the local stores that would order it anyways...
so in between working today, that is what I found out and did..
now I will help my dad put in the new wga that we finally found to fit my brother's turbo, and put in his new wideband o2 sensor and cai filter hydroshield since the guy that did his car origionlly just cut the mud gaurd things, and then sometime next week, install the ssafc we just got in, and reinstall his 440cc RC injectors, then tune.. finally haha
so overall im happy I know how to make it work, just a pain in the ass to have to wait for couplers to come in, I want that s*** now, I don't like not having my car to drive lol, an 98 dodge stratus is not fun to drive
